Would be interesting to know if it is worth it or not
Thanks ,will enjoy either way,will not be having loads to drink just because we have the drinks package,but might try several of the cocktails haha!We did not get an itemized bill. I'm not sure whether one could be requested. My guess is no and I'm guessing that because your drinks are still processed at the point of sale register wherever you order it, and it's run through as if you bought a drink. You then usually have to sign what looks like a credit card slip but it's for $0. So it's not as if you are charging it back to your room so to speak, the transaction is completed when you walk away from the bar. You also have the option to add a tip when signing the slip, which we did in a few cases, and on our final bill only the amount we charged was viewable. Also, your card has a drink package logo on it which is how they know to run it through the register for $0.
All of that said, it's certainly worth asking if it's possible. But it's not readily available.
You are right ,no way could I be bothered to even think about doing a spread sheet ,wouldn't know where to start ,hahaI've heard of people keeping a spreadsheet and/or running tally of the price of each drink they had. WAY too much math for me to deal with on vacation. If I get a package (up in the air pending this "everyone has to get one" because i'm not making my friend buy one - if that goes fleet-wide I'll just buy OBC), I am not going to worry about getting my money's worth but instead enjoy knowing that I'm NOT going to have a horrible surprise at the end of the cruise!
Just got back in June. I wasn't going to buy the package for a 4 night cruise (I've never cruised). The first Pina Colada was $12.50 (tax and gratuity) so I went up to my wife and said i'm getting the drink package. They did credit me the first round but I should have pre-purchased to get the 20%? discount. Six frozen drinks a day and it pays for itself, plus water bottles and a soda cup. I easily drank 10-12 drinks a day, I'm not normally a big drinker but when in Rome. My wife wasn't really drinking with the heat so it would not have been worth it for her. I would do it again in a heartbeat...
